Oh I forgot to mention I have onboard sound ac97 and autoexec.bat has the necessary info to load the sound chip
Keith O:
This might be your problem:
# Global options passed to emulator, i.e. -sound 1
global_options = -sound 1
It might be a Mame syntax error. Instead of "-sound 1" try "-soundcard 1".

When MAME doesn't have a sound card configured, it'll prompt you for one. That's what is happening behind the black screen. MAME is asking you to enter a sound card from that menu. Now it looks like your passing "-sound 1" to MAME from GL's mame.cfg. Perhaps it's not liking the Sound Balster option. Actually, I think you have the wrong option. Try "-soundcard 1". Also, try editing MAME's mame.cfg and put in "soundcard = 1".

That's funny! Looks like we both were answering at the same time - with pretty much the same response.
By the way Dave, thanks for making such a great front-end!
